I dont know where you live or what your countries rules are or how you parent are ect but could you ask them to let you have session on your own. Once you comfortable and got all the information out to you Dr then get the Dr to explain in a way that in more clinical I supose to your parents. Some time we have to get threw some weird thoughts to get the ones we need to deal with and I know from personal experiance that getting all the thoughts out and sorting threw which one need to be dealt and which one I can ignore is easier if your not always looking for the reaction on faces or there body from the people you love. Some time we may need to say things that may even hurt the feeling of people we love but our intenstion in not make them feel bad it to understand why we feel that way.
In Australia kids have a right to privacy from Dr's ect from as young as 10y I think somthing like that They dont need parental permission to see a Dr they just need there medicare card ect. That is good for kids but not alway good for the parents but it to help kids feel safe about talking about things that may be to hard to do in front of there parent speically if the parant are not always looking out for the best interest of the child which I'm in no way saying that refurs to your situation. I just know that I talked to a young person once who parents would not take her to see a Dr cause thay said she was an attention seeker and her country did not allow her to go in by her self. It a shame when things like that happen all kids and young people deserve to be happy and healthy.
